Comparing Delirium Risk After Liver Transplant: Inhaled vs. IV Anesthesia
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares how often confusion (delirium) happens after liver transplant when using two different anesthesia medicines: sevoflurane (inhaled gas) versus propofol (IV medicine). It helps doctors find out which anesthesia might be safer for your brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 19 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to receive a liver transplant.
- You will be given either sevoflurane (a gas you breathe in) or propofol (a medicine given through an IV) for anesthesia.
- You do not have hearing loss, serious memory problems, confusion, or trouble communicating.
- You do not have a brain or nerve condition like a stroke, dementia, or Parkinson's disease.

This study compares two types of general anesthesia—propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia versus sevoflurane inhaled anesthesia—during planned surgery to remove liver tumors. The goal is to see whether the anesthesia choice affects long-term outcomes after partial liver removal for hepatocellular carcinoma.
This study compares three different anesthesia medicines to see which one might lower the chance of confusion or delirium after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a long, planned non-heart surgery, this trial could help determine the safest option for you.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see which one helps prevent confusion and delirium after surgery. Delirium is a temporary state of confusion that can happen after surgery, and researchers want to understand which anesthesia approach might reduce this risk.
This study looks at how often older adults develop sudden confusion (delirium) after non-heart operations under general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and improve care after surgery.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
This study tests whether three different anesthesia medicines (ciprofol, propofol, and sevoflurane) might reduce confusion or disorientation after brain tumor surgery in older adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of these anesthetics, and their recovery will be monitored.
